    It is quite eye opening to read and realise how many of the above have moved on. But worth reviewing how fortunate we have been as a hobby.

    How could I have forgotten David.

    Possible to keep the list as a thank you & recognition to the freeware developers? These are the guys, often unchanged, who do it just for the passion.

    Dimitri Samborski, et al (Samdim Design)
    Ken Mitchell (Mitch's Panel Shop)

    It's amazing what can still be found if you dig!

    And who could forget Dave Maltby and his BAC 1-11's, Comets, VC10's and Tridents. All of which are just as at home in FSX as they are in FS9. 'Specially the 1-11's

    Since the list includes others who have "gone west" (such as David "Opa" Marshall" and Greg Pepper) we should add the late, great Paul "Putt-Putt" Clawson and Damian "Windrider" Radice. They are no longer with us, but their work is still available.

    And a couple that I haven't heard of for a while now, who I hope are still OK: Odd ("
    Henry William") Spjøtvold, who I think is still active on the "dark side" (FSX), and Heather "Bad Weather" Sherman, who taught me much of what I know about painting models (but nowhere near everything she knows!)

    Thanks for carrying on adding our 'hero's'of FS2004!
    Brings back so many memories, & lets me search for their add-ons again.

  13. #13
    I have got to nominate Mick Morrissey! I have had so much of his stuff in my FS2004 set up over the years.
    Long live FS2004!

    I will add Roger Wensley for its amazing airports sceneries in Caribean, Alaska and Northern Canada. (and when you find a missing texture in one of its sceneries, you can win a beer in a nice pub in Paris ! I spend a delicious moment talking aviation with him !)

    Thank you!

    Remember that almost everything I've done beyond simple repaints was done in partnership with David Wooster. He should be on the list too. I'm enbarrassed that I didn't think to add him in my earlier post.

    Along with David Wooster I would also include Warwick Carter, Tom Gibson, John Sinstrom, John B. Loney Jr., Tim "OBIO" Dement, Lee Swordy and Bill "Lionheart" Ortis. I'm sure there are others who I will be embarrassed to have omitted when I think of them.

    Would like to mention George Diemer who modeled all those beautiful Sikorsky amphibians and flying boats.

    One of my favorites chronicled here. The S-43B!
